UNSPSC 50586701: Non GMO aloha corn

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chrysanthemum greens. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50586701 Non GMO aloha corn, a Commodity code, covers specialty fresh produce — specifically non-GMO corn varieties — that state and local governments procure for food service operations. State and local buyers under this code include county parks and recreation departments operating food concessions, school districts supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, regional health-care coalitions managing institutional food service, and state procurement offices. The solicitations show that produce vendors compete on freshness, delivery logistics, compliance with food-safety regulations, domestic sourcing preferences, and adherence to nutritional standards such as low-sodium formulations and products without artificial additives. The North Collier Regional Park food-services contract, for example, requires vendors to provide diverse high-quality food and beverage options across multiple venues; Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid explicitly emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives across approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast. Collier County, Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025; Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified in source) solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026; Early County Board of Education, Georgia issued a line-by-line bid for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026 covering meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains; and the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. School districts and county governments appear to be the primary issuing bodies, with contracts typically running 12 months or multi-year terms including renewal options. Vendors must meet Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, carry general liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify and debarment verification for bids exceeding $25,000.
